Our personal experiences navigating mental health challenges, especially during Sophie's transition, have been pivotal in shaping our commitment to well-being. From anxiety to depression and self-harm to suicide, we've faced the spectrum of struggles and after seeking help ourselves we've become Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAiders®) so that we can help others.
